Welcome to the SAAMA group! The goal of this group is to be able to take what's taught in forms, dead drills, and the like and experiment with the application against a resisting opponent. Because the skill in any martial art lies not in how well a form can be done, or how many of the numbered prerranged techniques a person knows, but in how one is able to accomplish their goal(s) using the tools of their system. This can only be achieved through a specific training model of progressive resistance and sparring.
